Säve Airport, known as Göteborg City Airport until 2015, is an airport located 5 NM north-west from the centre of Gothenburg, near Säve, on the island of Hisingen, Bohuslän, Sweden. It is located within the borders of Gothenburg Municipality, hence its former name, it was Gothenburg's second international airport, with international scheduled flights from 2001 to 2015. In addition to commercial airlines, the airport was used by a number of rescue services, including the Swedish Coast Guard. Owing to damage to the airport's runway by heavy aircraft and the high cost of repairs, the airport was closed to airline traffic indefinitely on 18 January 2015, but remains open to light aircraft. Although it was a low-cost airline airport, it is located closer to Gothenburg city centre than the main Göteborg Landvetter Airport if the driving time is around the same, it was one of the few city airports to receive Ryanair flights. Göteborg City Airport was able to handle aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 737, an Airbus A320, or similar jets.
The airport still accommodates general aviation activities, including two flying clubs, Aeroklubben i Göteborg and Chalmers flygklubb. DFDS Seaways cited competition from low-cost air services Ryanair, as being a reason for its scrapping its Newcastle-Gothenburg ferry service in October 2006, it was the only dedicated passenger ferry service between Sweden and the United Kingdom, had been running since the 19th century. Construction of the airport began in 1940, as a military airbase for Göta Air Force Wing, a wing of the Swedish Air Force; the airbase was closed down in 1969. The old civil airport at Torslanda was closed down in 1977, scheduled flights moved to Landvetter Airport. In 1984 the runway was extended, to allow larger business jets to operate. In 2001 the airport was renamed City Airport, Ryanair started operating scheduled flights to London. Prior to the arrival of Ryanair in 2001, the airport had 9,000 passengers per year. In 2004 the Swedish Armed Forces left the airport, when a helicopter squadron of the Swedish Marines was disbanded.
A legacy of the military presence is a museum called Aeroseum, preserving various fighter jets and displaying military aircraft history. On 26 November 2014 the airport had to ban all heavier aircraft, such as the Boeing 737, because the taxiway was not rated to carry heavy aircraft; this meant that all flights operated by Ryanair, Wizz Air and Gotlandsflyg were diverted to Landvetter Airport. The lighter aircraft flown by Sparrow Aviation were allowed to fly after a ban of one day. In the early days following the ban, most passengers still cleared security at Gothenburg City Airport before being transferred by bus. All check-in was done at Landvetter Airport for diverted flights. Initial plans were for the airport to remain closed to heavy aircraft until at least the end of January 2015. However, on 13 January 2015, the decision was published to close the airport permanently to passenger traffic, owing to the high cost of fixing the runway/taxiway problem. Sparrow Aviation, using lighter aircraft, continued to use City Airport until 18 January 2015.
The airport was kept open until the end of 2015 in the hope of attracting a possible buyer who could agree to Swedavia's conditions and ensure a long-term plan. In May 2016 it was announced that a motorsport circuit would be built at the Säve Airport, intended to host Scandinavian Touring Car Championship races. Owing to the aforementioned issues, there is no longer any passenger traffic scheduled. All airlines relocated to Göteborg Landvetter Airport, except Sparrow Aviation which terminated its Gothenburg-Stockholm Bromma Airport flights.

The Greek Resistance is the blanket term for a number of armed and unarmed groups from across the political spectrum that resisted the Axis occupation of Greece in the period 1941–1944, during World War II. It is considered as one of the strongest resistance movements in Nazi-occupied Europe; the rise of resistance movements in Greece was precipitated by the invasion and occupation of Greece by Nazi Germany from 1941–44. Italy led the way with its attempted invasion from Albania in 1940, repelled by the Greek Army. After the German invasion, the occupation of Athens and the fall of Crete, King George II and his government escaped to Egypt, where they proclaimed a government-in-exile, recognised by the Allies; the British encouraged coerced, the King to appoint centrist, moderate ministers. Despite that some in the left-wing resistance claimed the government to be illegitimate, on account of its roots in the dictatorship of Ioannis Metaxas from 1936–41; the Germans set up a Greek collaborationist government, headed by General Georgios Tsolakoglou, before entering Athens.
Some high-profile officers of the pre-war Greek regime served the Germans in various posts. This government however, lacked legitimacy and support, being utterly dependent on the German and Italian occupation authorities, discredited because of its inability to prevent the cession of much of Greek Macedonia and Western Thrace to Bulgaria. Both the collaborationist government and the occupation forces were further undermined due to their failure to prevent the outbreak of the Great Famine, with the mortality rate reaching a peak in the winter of 1941–42, which harmed the Greek civilian population. Although there is an unconfirmed incident connected with Evzone Konstantinos Koukidis the day the Germans occupied Athens, the first confirmed resistance act in Greece had taken place on the night of 30 May 1941 before the end of the Battle of Crete. Two young students, Apostolos Santas, a law student, Manolis Glezos, a student at the Athens University of Economics and Business, secretly climbed the northwest face of the Acropolis and tore down the swastika banner, placed there by the occupation authorities.
The first wider resistance movements occurred in northern Greece, where the Bulgarians annexed Greek territories. The first mass uprising occurred around the town of Drama in eastern Macedonia, in the Bulgarian occupation zone; the Bulgarian authorities had initiated large-scale Bulgarization policies, causing the Greek population's reaction. During the night of 28–29 September 1941 the people of Drama and its outskirts rose up; this badly-organized revolt was suppressed by the Bulgarian Army, which retaliated executing over three thousand people in Drama alone. An estimated fifteen thousand Greeks were killed by the Bulgarian occupational army during the next few weeks and in the countryside entire villages were machine gunned and looted; the town of Doxato and the village of Choristi are considered today Martyr Cities. At the same time, large demonstrations were organized in Greek Macedonian cities by the Defenders of Northern Greece, a right-wing organization, in protest against the Bulgarian annexation of Greek territories.
Armed groups consisted of andartes - αντάρτες first appeared in the mountains of Macedonia by October 1941, the first armed clashes resulted in 488 civilians being murdered in reprisals by the Germans, which succeeded in limiting Resistance activity for the next few months. However, these harsh actions, together with the plundering of Greece's natural resources by the Germans, turned Greeks more against the occupiers; the lack of a legitimate government and the inactivity of the established political class created a power vacuum and meant an absence of a rallying point for the Greek people. Most officers and citizens who wanted to continue the fight fled to the British-controlled Middle East, those who remained behind were unsure of their prospects against the Wehrmacht; this situation resulted in the creation of several new groupings, where the pre-war establishment was absent, which assumed the role of resisting the occupation powers. The first resistance groups started appearing two-three months after the start of the occupation of Greece, such as the Grivas Military Organization, founded in June 1941, the organization "Freedom", led by Colonel Dimitrios Psarros, founded in July 1941.
Shortly after the end of the Battle of Crete, it was founded the organization "Supreme Committee of Cretan Struggle", in June 1941. The first major resistance organization to be founded was the National Liberation Front, which by 1944 came to number more than 1,800,000 members. EAM was organized by the Communist Party of Greece and other smaller parties, whereas the major pre-war political parties refused to participate either in EAM or in any other resistance movement. On February 16, 1942, EAM gave permission to a communist veteran, called Athanasios Klaras to examine the possibilities of an armed resistance movement. Although its foundation was announced in late 1941, there were no military acts until 1942, when the Greek People's Liberation Army, the armed forces of EAM, was born; the second largest organization was the Venizelist-oriented National Republican Greek League, led by a former army officer, Colonel Napoleon Zervas, with exiled republican General Nikolaos Plastiras as its nominal head.
